dear Felix, to run ppower4 yuo need JRE (java runtime environment) installed on your PC. If you haven't this installed download the latest version from the sun's web site, istall it and add the bin folder to your path (to set the path start->setting->system->environment variables or samething like that.). Now from the dos prompt you shold be able to run the java command. I'm a linux user, so I'm not familiar with .bat files. Anyway under linux I'm able to run pp4 like this
java -jar pp4p.jar inputfile.pdf outputfile.pdf I'm confident you can run pp4 typing the same string to the dos prompt. good luck Gianfranco Il ven, 2005-01-14 alle 22:27, Felix Lazebnik ha scritto: > Recently I learned how to use pdfscreen for computer presentation. > The document for it suggests to use ppower4 for the post processing. > > I have been using latex for a long time.
